The F-4 Phantom, a two-pilot aircraft, was found to have no survivor. The cause of the accident remains undetermined. The airshow was promptly halted following the incident. A local resident described hearing a \"tremendous bang\" and witnessing thick black smoke shortly after the crash. Videos shared on YouTube captured the dramatic event. The Athens Flying Week, an annual event held at Tanagra air base for the past twelve years, saw participation from numerous military and civilian aircraft from various countries such as France, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Germany's own air force, displaying aircraft like the Eurofighter Typhoon and Tornado. Organizers of the event assured that such accidents were unprecedented in the show's history.",
